ASRS distance along network egde

I have a user command which gets executed everytime a package is loaded onto ASRS. When this happens, I want to calculate the distance of ASRS along the network edge. However, as seen below the function is not returning the distance correctly.

File name is Warehouse_getDistance

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.1.1

warehouse network nodes asrs vehicle user command

Use vectors to find the distance along the path between two netnodes when the traveler is no longer travelling along the edge due to offset travel:

Vec3 p1=Model.find("NN2").as(Object).location;
Vec3 p2=Model.find("NN3").as(Object).location;
Vec3 p12=p2-p1;
Vec3 t=Model.find("Transporter1").as(Object).location;
Vec3 p1t=t-p1;
double distAlong=p12.dot(p1t)/p12.magnitude;
return distAlong;

An ASRS Vehicle doesn’t drive on an Network in warehouse aisles. It performs only Offset travel tasks for load and unload tasks then. It is still connected to a networknode, which is taking part to be a transfer point of load and unload actions.

Perhaps you can evaluate kinematics of such an object to get your desired data.
